Scans incoming & outgoing traffic, to ensure the security of local networks and Internet connections

Applies rules to both network connections and applications

Real-time, cloud-assisted protection

Kaspersky also uses cloud-assisted techniques to provide a more rapid response to the emergence of new threats. The cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) collects malware research information from millions of Kaspersky users who agreed to share their up-to-the-minute infection data. This constant flow of information helps Kaspersky to safeguard its customers against new and emerging threats – even before the malware database on the customer’s computer has been updated.

All Kaspersky Small Office Security customers benefit from this powerful, cloud-assisted protection… even if they choose not to consent to data collection by KSN.

System Watcher

In the unlikely event of one of your PCs becoming infected with malware, Kaspersky Small Office Security includes Kaspersky’s unique System Watcher technology that:

Detects dangerous behaviour on your computer – so that Kaspersky’s technology can remove the infection

Can automatically roll back your computer – to undo most types of malicious actions

Automatically modifies the firewall settings – according to whether the user is at work, home or on a public network

Secure Keyboard and Virtual Keyboard

Cybercriminals can use keylogger malware and screen-capture programs to record the keyboard keys that you press when you’re entering your passwords, usernames or credit card details into banking or payment websites. However, Kaspersky Small Office Security includes protection technologies that can defeat the cybercriminals.

Automatic Exploit Prevention

Because malicious programs exploit vulnerabilities that exist in commonly-used applications – and then try to steal your data – Kaspersky Small Office Security includes Automatic Exploit Prevention that blocks these exploits by:

Controlling the launch of executable files

Checking the behaviour of launched executable files – to look for signs of exploits

Controlling the activities performed by applications that have vulnerabilities

Anti-phishing protection

To protect you from inadvertently visiting fraudulent phishing sites that try to steal your financial or confidential information, Kaspersky Small Office Security uses advanced analysis techniques to check whether a website has the characteristics that are typical of phishing operations.

URL Advisor

Kaspersky’s URL Advisor uses colour coding to give you an at-a-glance indication of whether a link from an Internet search will take you to an infected or phishing website.

File Advisor

When you download an application from the Internet, Kaspersky Small Office Security lets you check its reputation with the cloud-based Kaspersky Security Network – so you can determine whether the file could harm your computer.

Anti-Spam

With new and improved anti-spam technology, Kaspersky Small Office Security provides even more reliable filtering of unwanted messages.

Flexible management features let you restrict the time of day when a PC can access the Internet. Alternatively, you can totally block access to selected websites.

Safe Search

Some popular search engines – such as Google – include a Safe Search mode that blocks web pages that contain inappropriate content. With Kaspersky Small Office Security, you can ensure the Safe Search option is always engaged.

Supervision of instant messaging and social networking

It’s easy to restrict instant messaging so that your employees can only communicate with specific contacts. Similarly, you can set policies to limit your employees’ activities on popular social networks, including Facebook and Twitter.

Blacklisting keywords

Kaspersky Small Office Security lets you set up a blacklist of keywords so that communications that include those keywords are blocked – and a notification is sent to you or an administrator.

Secure storage vaults

It’s easy to create secure containers for storing confidential and valuable data. Each container is encrypted and password-protected, to secure your data against thieves and hackers. Your containers can be securely transferred via email or a USB drive – between computers that are running Kaspersky Small Office Security.

Multiple vaults

Kaspersky Small Office Security lets you create as many secure containers as your business needs – so every employee has a safe place to store their data. Each container can be protected by an individual password.

Secure storage of passwords

All your passwords are stored in an encrypted database. You only have to remember one master password and Kaspersky’s Password Manager feature will remember all your other passwords for you. The encrypted database of passwords can be copied to a USB stick – so mobile employees can work from any PC that has Kaspersky Small Office Security installed on it.

Kaspersky Small Office Security remembers your usernames and passwords. When you return to a website, you’ll automatically be logged in – without you having to enter your username and password. Similarly, the Password Management feature will log you in when you reopen an application that requires authentication.

Automatic completion of online forms

Kaspersky Small Office Security lets you create an identity card that contains a range of personal and contact information, so that forms on websites can be filled in automatically.

Blocking unauthorized access to backup data

Password protection restricts access to your data – and each backup can have an individual password.

File Shredder

Simply deleting a file isn’t enough to remove it from your hard disk. Cybercriminals are able to restore deleted files on any PCs they obtain – either via theft or purchasing your old PCs / disks. Kaspersky Small Office Security includes a File Shredder wizard that enables irreversible wiping of confidential data.

The Rescue Disk contains tools to clean malware from PCs and then restore the system settings – even if the computer’s operating system was damaged.

The Management Center will scan your Wi-Fi network and advise on how to improve its security.

In order to reduce the load on your Internet connection, Kaspersky Small Office Security lets you assign the role of ‘update server’ to one of your computers. That computer will download all updates and then distribute them to all other computers on your network.

Antivirus protection

Because the volume of mobile malware is rapidly increasing, Kaspersky Small Office Security includes world-class anti-malware technologies.

Every file, application, email attachment and media file is scanned for the latest threats.

Wipe of SD card with Device Reset – to delete all information that’s stored in the device and on the SD card, plus return the device to its default factory settings

Alarm

If you’ve only mislaid your Android device, you can activate an audible alarm. The alarm will sound until you deactivate it by using your secret code.

Mugshot

The Mugshot feature enables you to take photographs of whoever is using your missing device – so you can receive images of the unauthorized user.

SIM Watch

If someone changes the SIM card in your missing smartphone, Kaspersky Small Office Security will notify you of the new phone number – so you can still run the remote anti-theft features on your phone.
